Editor’s Note: Have you heard Anita Moorjani’s fascinating Near-Death Experience + Miraculous Cancer Recovery story? It’s the most amazing and convincingly-documented NDE story I’ve ever heard about. Her book, “Dying To Be Me,” is also among my all-time favorites. So I’m reposting this amazing interview with Lilou Mace, along with notes on the 21 life lessons Anita shares. Enjoy!

Anita Moorjani’s fascinating and moving near-death experience in 2006 tremendously changed her perspective on life. Her story is documented in her best-selling book titled, “Dying to be Me: My Journey from Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing,” which Dr. Wayne Dyer helped her publish.

In this interview with Lilou Mace, Moorjani shares some of the amazing life lessons she took away from her NDE. For easier assimilation, we’ve listed them below.

2. If you’re sick, don’t fight it. Embrace it. Love where you are now. Only when you approach your health challenges from a point of love can you overcome the fear.

3. Sometimes less information is better. When it comes to illness, more information does not necessarily equal more power (too much research can actually add to the fear and symptoms).

4. Through your illness, your body is giving you a message. Work to understand and be with what is.

5. Everything comes from within.

6. Ask yourself, “What brings me joy?” And do more of that.

7. Don’t obsess and make your life about the illness.

8. Love yourself unconditionally.

9. Positive thinking can only help to a certain extent. It’s more about being yourself and loving yourself – regardless of what you are going through.

10. Stop judging yourself.

11. Express yourself fully. Ask yourself: “Am I allowing myself to express who I am? Am I being this person because I want to be accepted, or because it is who I am?”

12. Be centered in your true essence. From the place of pure centeredness, miracles are possible. It’s about being, not doing. When you are in the space of being, miracles are possible.

13. The only thing that limits you is your own beliefs.

14. The best way to get our of a fear state is to do something that brings you into a state of joy. Find something that changes your state completely. Whatever it is – music or art or going out in nature. Do something completely different. Or meditate. If we can be still, we can go into a different reality.

15. Stay totally open. Get into a defused state in which all of the possibilities lie before you and you haven’t locked into any one.

16. Follow your bliss and do what you love. We tend to do what we think we should do, rather than what our heart tells us to do. We don’t do what makes our heart sing.

17. You are your own guru. All your answers are inside you.

18. Nobody is better than (or less than) you. We are all equal.

19. Focus on your feelings more than your thoughts. Make your everyday choices based on what makes you FEEL good, rather than what you THINK you should do or what others think you should do.

This is all so true i feel. All these life lessons are learned from the experienced person/soul of an individual who has or even still is going through the times in life that make you question EVERYTHING. I am comforted by the wonderful words of this fine woman.

Dear Anita, I just read & watched the video about your experience and what you have taken from it . It is like I hear myself speaking. I have not faced the grave health issues but I fully understand what you mean about fear and following your bliss….it’s so true.i have not honoured myself- mainly because of choices made from a pre conditioned mindset. I cannot change what has been but do very much want to go forward as you say. I hope I find the answers as to how without upsetting my current life situation. Please continue to inspire the world. God bless you Vineeta
